"Expert knowledge, responsive, fair pricing, and great customer service! We hired them to trim our arborvitaes, maple trees, and pear trees throughout our property. GB and his team were all fantastic to work with - friendly and happy to answer any questions we had regarding the project. From the initial quote to the final cleanup - we were completely satisfied. We'll definitely be calling back for more landscape work in the future! Thank you GB!!"

"Nilton is quite knowledgeable about trees and health of trees. I have used him for landscaping, tree trimming and removal, stump grinding and tree planting. He and his crew are very professional, work efficiently and he charges a very fair price for his work. He makes sure the area is clean and debris free before they leave. I couldn't be happier with the work Nilton has done for me. I will continue to call him whenever I have a tree related project. I highly recommend Nilton and Paradise Landscape and Tree Removal."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.
